Holiday Bazaar dance
We had fun preparing and
performing for the Holiday Bazaar. It was great when we had some audience
participation. We also draw a picture of our favourite dance moves.
1 minute maths activities
We had lots of excitement
with these activities awarding ourselves 1st, 2nd, 3rd
and good run ribbons.

Couplet
poems
We
had our first attempt at writing poems. A couplet poem is in two parts, as in a
couple with the last word of each line rhyming. We also considered respect for
one another. We were authors but then had the job illustrating someone’s poem.
We then presented our poems to individuals in the ELC3 and Reception class. Here
are samples of some poems:
I
kiss
But
I still miss
|
Cocoons
are fun
But
do they grow in the sun?
|
I
am fat
Because
I ate a cat
|
I
made a wish I want a dish
But
in the end I got grilled fish
|
I
am two and I have a tutu
Mary,
my friend has one too
|
I
had a big fright
In
the night

Acrostic poems
In Acrostic poems,
the first letters of each line are aligned vertically to form a word.
The word often is the subject of the poem. Below are some of our poems:

What do you think? Cats make better pets
than dogs?
Read what the dogs and cats have to say.
Dog 1. Hey cat.
Just want to say you are dirty. You lick yourself.
|
Cat 1. Well
that’s ok. You are so lazy you don’t want to clean yourself.
|
Dog 2. Hey
little kitty witty. You are so lazy and weak. You don’t even know how to bite
people.
|
Cat 2. Oh yea.
You have to be trained by your owner. We already know that stuff.
|
Dog 3. I
am so great. I swim and save my owner when he is drowning.
|
Cat 3. I don’t
think so. We are just peaceful.
|
Dog 4. Look I’m
so mean.
|
Cat 4. But I’m
so cute.
|
Cat 1. Lazy people
love me because I am lazy.
|
Dog 1. You are not
helping your lazy owner to be a healthy person.
|
Cat 2. Hey Mr.
Little dog. You take so long to take a bath.
|
Dog 2. It’s
much more efficient than licking.
|
Cat 3. We cats
can clean ourselves.
|
Dog 3. But I
thought you hate water?
|
Cat 4. Meow look
at me I am a beautiful cat.
|
Dog 4. But I am
more handsome than you.

Persuasion – Children today are smarter than their parents. Let’s see what the kings and queens have to say to the prince’s and princesses.
Princess Hoyeon The
fact is children today
are smarter than their parents because they learn from smart teachers and
good lessons but parents learn that along time ago so parents forget everything.
|
Princess Alaka Surely children are smarter than their parents
because it’s easier for children to learn things but parents have to train
really, really hard, like for years.
|
Princess Ye Jin I
know children today are
smarter than parents because I am a better dancer than dad and I study at
school.
|
Prince Jordi Others
must agree that children
are smarter than parents because they get to learn more stuff like using jet
pack and hacking systems.
|
Prince Avi I
really feel that
children are smarter than their parents because parents teach them what they
know and then the kids go to school and they learn new things their parents
did not teach them.
|
Prince Robert The
time has come to say
children are smarter than their parents. Parents are born maybe in 1985 and
that is a long time ago and it is in the past and now is the present with
more technology. Kids know this stuff and parents don’t.
|
Prince Robin I’m
absolutely certain
children are much smarter than their parents because they have more modern
schools and more information about the world.
|
King Clay I
believe that parents are
smarter than children because they know mathematics more than us when they
were little.
|
Queen Rahma Clearly
parents are smarter than children because they have experienced a longer life
and have more knowledge.
|
King Prince the 5th
of England Everyone knows that parents are smarter than children because my
parents are teaching me every day and making me as strong as a gorilla.
|
King Dyllan In
my opinion parents are
smarter than children because they learn more like some business men who like
to travel and that include maths.
|
King Nathan I’m
absolutely certain parents
are smarter than their children because parents know way more than kids.
|
Queen Gaby Without
doubt parents are
smarter than children because parents teach children and some teachers are
parents.
|
King Feri Of
course parents are
smarter than children because my mum can cook any type of food and my dad is
smart at maths.

Look into our shop window. Do you like our window display?
Will you walk in the shop and purchase some lego?
Happy New Year Grade 3,4 and 5! I enjoyed reading all about the couplet poems you did. I had forgotten all about these because i was in school a very long time ago!
ReplyDeleteI hope to visit you class during a 1 minute maths task, I think it would be fun to watch.
Hello grade 3-5,
ReplyDeleteWas it hard to make the Lego shops? We liked how you built them. We also liked your play and the Teletubbies at assembly.
